Which of the following membrane lipids have a direct glycosidic linkage between the head-group sugar and the backbone glycerol?a) Glycolipidsb) Phospholipidsc) Sphingolipidsd) Ether lipids
Which of the following statements is incorrect? The rigidity of a saturated fatty acid is based on the strong bonding between sp3-hybridized carbon chains. Glycerophospholipids are the most abundant lipids in cellular membranes. In delta notation of fatty acid nomenclature, the numbering starts at the α-carbon from the carboxylic acid end. Hormones, such as testosterone, estradiol and progesterone are examples of steroidal lipids.

Describe the relationship between the degree of unsaturation and the physical characteristics of lipids. Draw a triacylglycerol containing three units of 18:3 (9,12,15). Describe five major types of lipids.
An illustration of a simple triacylglycerol is given. Choose which type of fatty acid is described by each of the given phrase Choices: A, B, C (Refer to picture) 1. a hydrocarbon chain that bends once 2. a polyunsaturated fatty acid chain 3. cannot be saturated by vitamins 4. absorbs the highest number of iodine 5. can be completely saturated by an I2 molecule
Olestra has been used in certain snack foods as an alternativeto fats and oils. Its structure consists of a sucrose molecule inwhich all free hydroxyl groups have formed esters with oleicacid (an 18-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid). Olestra molecules contain no calories because they are exceptionallylarge and cannot be digested. Draw the structure of olestra.Use R—COOH as an abbreviation for oleic acid.
Unsaturated fatty acids are commonly esterified at the hydroxyl substituent of glycerol at what carbon number? 1st carbon 2nd carbon 3rd carbon All carbons
